And measures and matters of The Truth of the "time" we are in ...how "man" ..."thought to change time and times ... Dearly beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, how that one day is with the Lord, as a thousand year, and a thousand year as one day.
The Lord is not slack to fulfil his promise, as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward, and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance.
creteis@yahoo.com Behold in a dread nightmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...
and i was taken and shown a grandpa ...
and the old man had an idea ...and he thought ...in himself ...of himself to take his grandkids on a little vacation ...
and the two grandkids; a young lad and a young woman went with their grandpa...
and they took his old motor home ...
and at first everything seemed fine ...though there were troubles with mapping and directions ...
and they ended up in place hard to turn around ...
and places that were steep and cold places ...
nevertheless they went on ...and seemed to have a ...good time ...
evenso the grandpa came back to the motor home one day and there were two men inside ...
and the grandpa asked who are these two ...?
and the pity full granddaughter said oh oh these two poor men need a ride to the next town ...
and the grandpa grimaced ...yet allowed ...and said the next town ...only.
evenso while they were traveling and the grandpa was driving the men stole things from the motor home ...
and that for they were highway men that had preyed upon the pity of the young woman ...
and now had made their way into the motor home ...to rob ...
and the grandpa pulled the motor home over and demanded that the highway men get out ...
Yet the highway men only grinned and laughed ...
evenso the grandpa pulled out a gun ...and said get out !
nevertheless the highway men just laughed again ...for they thought old grandpa was bluffing...
Yet when grandpa fired a round into the floor of the motor home the highwaymen scrambled to get out ...
evenso they yelled that they were going to report to the police that grandpa had threatened them with deadly force ...(like leftist limp wrists )
and grandpa drove off ...pissed off ...
and he thought of what he could do ?...for it was a likely thing that the wimp ass highway men would report it ...to get some money or just to aggravate ...
and so the grandpa thought to sell the motor home ...or to trade it in ...to be rid of the evidence of the hole in the floor ...
and so he pulled into a place that had used cars and trucks for sale ...
and of course the dealer came out to make a deal !!...
and when he sensed the desperation of the old man ...he set to rob the old grandpa the more ...
and the dealer ...being also a highwayman himself...made an offer to trade an old van ...for the motor home ...
and old grandpa took the "deal" ...
and checked his money to see if he had enough to get back home ...
and that would be ...if he did not meet with anymore highwaymen ...on the way ...the way he thought to go.
and he should have prayed for if he should go ...and if then ...the way he would go ...that his footsteps be ordered by God.
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
Hear the right ( O' Lord ) consider my complaint: harken to my prayer, that goeth not out of a *feigned mouth.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence: and look upon the thing that is equal.
Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night season: thou has tried me in the fire: and hast found no wickedness in me: for I utterly purposed that my mouth should not offend.
Because the words of thy lips, I have kept me from the works of men: in the way of the murderer.
Oh order thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps slip not.
For unto thee I cry: hear me O' God: incline thine ears unto me: and harken unto my words.
Show thy marvelous lovingkindness, thou that savest them that put their trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
Keep me as the apple of an eye, defend me under the shadow of thy wings.
From the ungodly that trouble me, from my enemies which compass my soul round about.
Which maintain their own wealthiness with oppression, and their mouth they speaketh proud things.
They lay waiting in our way on every side, turning their eyes down to the ground.
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a lions whelp lurking in his den.
Up Lord, disappoint him and cast him down: deliver my soul with thy sword from the ungodly.
From the men of thy hand ( O' Lord ) from the men of the world, which have their portion in this life: whose bellies thou fillest with thy treasure.
They have children at their desire, and leave the rest of their substance for their babes.
But as for me, I will behold thy presence in righteousness: and when thy glory appeareth, I shall be satisfied*feigned (obliged/imagined)
Fret not thyself at the ungodly, be not envious against the evil doers. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and be withered even as the green herb.
Put thou thy trust in the Lord, and be doing good: so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily it shalt feed thee. Delight thou in the Lord, and he shall give thee thy hearts desire. Commit thy way unto the Lord, set thy hope in him, and he shall bring it to pass.
He shall make thy righteousness as clear as the light, and thy just dealing as the noonday. Hold still in the Lord, and abide patiently upon him: but grieve not thyself at one that hath prosperity, and liveth in abomination. Leave off from wrath, let go displeasure, let not thy jealousy move thee also to do evil.
For wicked doers shall be rooted out, but they that patiently abide the Lord, shall inherit the land.
Suffer yet a little while, and the ungodly shall be clean gone: thou shalt look after his place, and he shall be away..
But the meek spirited shall possess the earth, and have pleasure in much rest.
The ungodly layeth wait for the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
But the Lord laugheth him to scorn, for he seeth that his day is coming.
The ungodly drawn out the sword and bend their bow, to cast down the simple and poor, and to slay such as go the right way.
Nevertheless, their sword shall go through their own heart, and their bow shall be broken.
A small thing that the righteous hath, is better than the great riches of the ungodly.
For the arms of the ungodly shall be broken, but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
The Lord knoweth the days of the godly, and their inheritance endureth for ever.
They shall not be confounded in perilous times, and in the days of *derth they shall have enough.
As for the ungodly, they shall perish: and when the enemies of the Lord are in their *floures, they shall consume, yee even as the smoke shall they consume away. The ungodly borroweth, and payeth not again, but the righteous is merciful and liberal.
Such as be blessed of him, shall possess the land: and they that he curseth, shall be rooted out. The Lord ordereth a good mans going, and hath pleasure in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be hurt, for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
I have been young, and now am old: yet saw I never the righteous forsaken, nor his seed to seek their bread. The righteous is ever merciful, and lendeth gently, therefore shall his seed be blessed.
Flee from evil, and do the thing that is good, so shalt thou dwell forever. For the Lord loveth the thing that is right, he forsaketh not his saints, but they shall be preserved for evermore: as for the seed of the ungodly, it shall be rooted out. Yee, the righteous shall possess the land, and dwell therin for ever. The mouth of the righteous is exercised in wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
The law of his God is in his heart, therefore shall not his footsteps slide.
The ungodly seeth the righteous, and goeth about to slay him.
But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Hope thou in the Lord, and keep his way. And he shall so promote thee, that thou shalt have the land by inheritance, and see, when the ungodly shall perish.
I myself have seen the ungodly in great power, and flourishing like a green bay tree: but when I went by, lo, he was gone: I sought him, but he could no where be found.
Keep innocency, and take heed unto the thing that is right, for that shall bring a man peace at the last.
As for the transgressors, they shall perish together, and the ungodly shall be rooted out at the last.
The help of the righteous cometh of the Lord, he is their strength in the time of trouble. The Lord shall stand by them, and save them: he shall deliver them from the ungodly, and help them, because they put their trust in him*derth (famine) *floures as flour's or flowers, that is when the unGodly will be in their "glory",
Thou, O' God, art praised in Sion, and unto thee is the vow performed.
Thou hearest the prayer, therefore cometh all flesh unto thee.
Our misdeeds prevail against us, Oh be thou merciful unto our sins.
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest and receiveth unto thee, that he may dwell in thy court: he shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
Hear us, according to thy wonderful righteousness, O' God our salvation: thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of the broad sea. Which in his strength setteth fast the mountains, and is girded about with power: Which stilleth the raging of the sea, the roaring of his waves, and the woodness of the people.
They that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid of at thy tokens, thou makest both the morning and evening stars to praise thee.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, and makest it very plenteous. The river of God is full of waters, thou preparest man his corn, and thus thou providest for the earth. Thou waterest her furrows, thou breakest the hard clots thereof, thou makest it soft with drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it. Thou crownest the year with thy good, and thy footsteps drop fatness. The dwellings of the wilderness are fat also, that they drop down withal: and the little hills are pleasant on every side.
The folds are full of sheep, the valleys stand so thick with corn that they laugh and singTo the chaunter, for *Iduthun a Psalme of Asaph.
I cried unto God with my voice, yee unto God cried I with my voice, and he heard me.
In the time of my trouble I sought the Lord, I held up mine hands to him in the night season, for my soul refused all other comfort. When I was in heaviness, I thought upon God: when my heart was vexed, then did I speak. Selah.
Thou heldest mine eyes waking, I was so feeble, that I could not speak.
Then remember I the times of old, and the years that were past.
I called to remembrance my song in the night, I communed with mine own heart, and sought out my spirit.
Will the Lord cast out forever?
Will he be no more entreated?
Is his mercy clean gone?
Is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore?
Hath The Lord forgotten to be gracious?
Or, hath he shut up his loving kindness in displeasure? Selah.
At the last, I came to this point, that I thought: O why art thou so foolish? the right hand of the most high can change all. Therefore will I remember the works of the Lord, and call to mind thy wonders of old time.
I will speak of all thy works, and my talk shall be of thy doings.
Thy way, O' God, is holy: who is so great and mighty as God?
Thou art the God that doth wonders, thou hast declared thy power among the people. Thou with thine own arm hast delivered thy people, even the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
The waters saw thee, O' God, the waters saw thee, and were afraid, the depths were moved. The thick clouds poured out water, the clouds thundered, and thine arrows went abroad. Thy thunder was heard round about, the lightnings shone upon the ground, the earth was moved and shook with all. Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters, yet could no man know thy footsteps.
Thou leadest thy people like a flock of sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron*Iduthun: song and instruments at the coming of the Ark of appointment; 2 Chron Chp5.
Every man can *eschue a person moved to anger, for what he doth wisely? Even so shall the Lord of Hosts take away from Jerusalem and from Juda, all possessions and power, all meat and drink, the captain and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the wise and the aged man, the worshipful of fifty year old, and the honorable: the Senators, and the men of understanding: the masters of crafts and orators. And I shall give you children to be your princes,( sayeth the Lord ) and babes shall have the rule of you. One shall ever be doing violence and wrong to another. The boy will presume against the elder, and the vile person against the honorable. Ye when one shall take a friend of his own kindred by the bosom, and say: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril.
Then shall he swear and say: I can not help you. Moreover, there is neither meat nor clothing in my house, make me no ruler of the people. For Jerusalem and Juda must decay, because both their words and counsel are against the Lord, they provoke the presence of his Majesty unto anger. The changing of their countenance betrayeth them, yee they declare their own sins themselves, as the Sodomites, and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be heavily rewarded. Then shall they say: O happy are the godly, for they may enjoy the fruits of their studies. But woe be unto the ungodly and unrighteous for they shall be rewarded after their works. O my people, *ribaudes oppress thee, and women have rule of thee. O my people, thy leaders deceive thee, and tread out the way of thy footsteps. The Lord is here to commune of the matter, and standeth to give judgement with the people. The Lord shall come forth to reason with the Senators and princes of his people, and shall say thus unto them: It is ye that have burnt up my vineyard, the robbery of the poor is in your house. Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and marred the faces of the innocents? thus shall the Lord God of Hosts revile them.
Moreover thus sayeth the Lord: Seeing the daughters of Sion are become so proud, and come in with stretched out necks, and with vain wanton eyes: seeing they come in tripping so nicely with their feet: Therefore shall the Lord shave the heads of the daughters of Sion, and make their beauty bare in the day. In that day shall the Lord take away the gorgeousness of their apparel, and spangles, chains, *partlets, and collars, bracelets and hooves, that goodly flowered wide and boarded raiment, brushes and head bands, rings and garlands, holy day clothes and veils, kerchiefs and pins, glasses and smocks, bonnets and *taches
And instead of good smell there shall be stink among them. And for their girdles there shall be loose bands. And for well set hair there shall be baldness. Instead of a stomacher, a sackcloth, and for their beauty witherdness and *son burning. Their husbands and their mighty men shall perish with the sword in battle*eschue (avoid, escape) *ribaudes ( extortioners :MN). *partlets = ruffled covering for the neck. *taches = buckles, clasps, fasteners. *son burning exactly as recorded
declare their own sins themselves, as the Sodomites...
Tell your brethren, that they are my people: and your sister, that they have obtained mercy. As for your mother, ye shall chide with her, and reprove her: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband, unless she put away her whoredoms out of my sight, and advoutry from her breasts. If no I shall strip her naked, and set her, even as she came into the world: yee I shall lay her waste, and make her like a wilderness, and slay her for thirst. I shall have no pity also upon her children, for they be the children of fornication.
Their mother hath broken her wedlock, and she that bare them, is come into confusion. For she said: I will go after my lovers, that give me my water and bread, my wool and flax, mine oil and my drink.But I will hedge her way with thorns, and stop it, that she shall not find her footsteps: and she though she run after her lovers, yet she shall not get them: she shall seek them, but not find them. Then shall she say: well I will go turn again to my first husband, for at that time was I better at ease, then now. But this would she not know, where as I yet gave her corn, wine, and oil, silver and gold, which she hanged upon Baall.
Wherefore now will I go take my corn and wine in their season, and set again my wool and my flax, which I gave her to cover her shame. And now will I discover her foolishness, even in the sight of her lovers, and no man shall deliver her out of my hands. Moreover I will take away all her mirth, her holy days, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts: I will destroy her vineyards and fig trees, though she sayeth: lo, here are my rewards, that my lovers have given me. I will make it a wood, and the wild beasts shall eat it up. I will punish her also for the days of Baall, wherein she censed him, decking him with her earrings and chains: when she followed her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord.
Wherefore behold, I will call her again bring her into a wilderness, and speak friendly unto her: there will I give her, her vineyards again, yee and the valley of *Achor to show her hope and comfort. Then shall she sing there as in the time of her youth, and like as in the day when she came out of the land of Egypt. Then ( saith the Lord she shall say unto me: O my husband, and shalt call me no more Baali: for I will take away those names of Baall from her mouth, yee she shall never remember their names any more. Then will I make a covenant with them, with the wild beasts, with the fowls of the air, and with everything that creepeth upon the earth.
As for the bow, sword and battle, I will destroy such out of the land, and will make them to sleep safely. Thus I will marry thee unto mine own self forevermore: yee even to myself will I marry thee, in righteousness, in equity, in lovingkindness, and mercy. In faith also will I marry thee unto myself, and thou shalt know the Lord. At the same time will I show myself friendly and gracious unto the heavens, sayeth the Lord: and the heavens shall help the earth, and the earth shall help the corn, wine, and the oil, and they shall help Iesrael. I will sow them upon the earth, for a seed to mine own self, and will have mercy upon her, that was without mercy. And to them which were not my people, I will say: Thou art my people. And he shall say: thou art my God*Achor= troublesome times Hebrew
Children obey your fathers and mothers in the Lord: for so is it right. Honour thy father and mother, that is the first commandment that hath any promise, that thou mayst be in good estate, and live long on the earth. And ye fathers move not your children to wrath: but bring them up with the nurture and information of the Lord. Servants be obedient unto your carnal masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your hearts, as unto Christ: not with service in the eye sight, as men pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart with good will serving the Lord, and not men. And remember that whatsoever good thing any man doeth that shall he receive again of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And ye masters, do even the same things unto them, putting away threatenings: and remember that even your master also is in heaven, neither is there any respect of person with him.
Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the armour of God, that ye may stand steadfast against the crafty assaults of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness, for heavenly things.
For this cause take unto you the armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand perfect in all things.
Stand therefore, and your loins girt about with verity, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and shod with shoes prepared by the Gospell of peace. Above all take to you the shield of faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. And pray always with all manner prayer and supplication: and that in the spirit: and watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to utter the secrets of the Gospell, whereof I am a messenger in bonds, that therein I may speak freely, as it becometh me to speak.
But that ye may also know that condition I am in and what I do, Tichicus my dear brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall show you of all things, whom I sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know what case I stand in, and that he might comfort your hearts.
Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith, from God the father and from the Lord Jesu Christ. Grace be with all them which love our Lord Jesus Christ in pureness. Amen
